Is this config Crappy?
Do I need to upgrade?

#2

1.Get a new graphic card - this is the most important thing
2.Overclock that processor (or get a new one)
3.Also your HDD might be slow but there is no info on that so you may have to get that too

Your system is not that bad i guess it’s quite decent lacks a graphic card for gaming

#3

This setup will run TF2 in dxlevel 80 with AA, HDR, colour correct, motion blur and vertical sync off, so with a new gfx card, yours should handle it quite nicely.

EDIT: Inb4 d00d u got a d3ll…
EDIT 2: It says two cpu’s, it’s actually one.

#4

Its called hyperthreading, it makes one core act as two. Also im pretty sure HDR is only availible in DX9 mode.

#5

You’re right, and the intel GMA 4 series is definitely capable of DX9…

#6

Well he cant do much in the way of upgrading for that computer, the graphics card is part of the intel mobile chipset family,telling us that its a laptop. That should run TF2 fine on low-ish settings (I got it to run on an old GeForce 5200 and a 2.5 ghz celeron) but you might consider upgrading sometime soon. Other than your graphics card your machine is fairly ok.

#7

Get a new card and you’ll be possibly able to play on servers with <20 players.
I’ve got 2Ghz processor too. I can play with decent 20-40 fps on servers with 12-14 players. More players = fps drop.

Yeah, sometimes, when shit’s going up and stuff, i’ve got 10 and less fps.

Edit
Oh, and my card is Ati Radeon HD3650, 512Mb, 128-mbit.

#8

When they created the OS image they were probably too lazy to set the correct time and date in the bios.

#9

Well i put my vid card at maximum power

Weird thing is aero isnt disabed like all my other games,
